Spain coach, after 2-1 with Romania at Euro U21: “Arbitration decisions? I didn't see anything”
“I am happy that we have met the goal of winning the 3 points, but I already think about the recovery of the players and the match against Italy. We must continue to become better, because in such competitions the small details make the difference.
Important in football is to continue, to continue, to continue, even when it does not enter the gate. But we have to be better on transitions and find additional solutions. My players understand the game well, so my role is to offer them tactical solutions. Here we have to be better, “commented Denia, quoted by Uefa.com.
At the press conference, Denis thus commented on the match:
“We have prepared a game plan, I worked on it, but Munteanu gave everything over that goal. From there it was very difficult.
Asked about arbitration, his team benefiting from 3 important decisions of the brigade (penalty granted, ignored request of Romanians for penalty, respectively elimination of Blănuță), Denia replied as:
“I haven't seen anything [greșit]. We believe in them, in the lime, in the UEFA. I'm here to help us. I was not lucky but I suffered. When you get such victories, the players are worth congratulating, and their efforts appreciated. “
